We recently attended an outdoor tool event sponsored by The Home Depot. There were about 20 or so online content creators and media folks invited to the event. Although we didn't get a chance to really talk to the others attending, we did meet Leah from See Jane Drill and met a representative from This Old House.

The event gave us a chance to see some new outdoor tool innovations, try them out and talk with brand experts. We took lots of video and notes so we could share all we learned with all of you. Here's a brief look what we experienced at the event (please watch the video above for more info).

This Toro self propelled lawnmower with "personal pace" and power reverse was truly effortless to use--it can move with only one hand! It's gas powered, packed with lots of consumer friendly features like anti vibration and folds up for easy storage.

Steph had way too much fun with this zero-turn riding mower from John Deere. Too bad her yard is the size of a postage stamp!

This DeWalt chainsaw is light enough for me to manage easily.

This Ego backpack blower was a favorite of Steph's. This company was new to us. We were impressed with their innovation, quality, and attention to consumer feedback.

Milwaukee power tools are top notch and their outdoor tools prove they are worthy of the Milwaukee name! This hedge trimmer was light but powerful!

This paddle attachment by Echo is so cool. It's just one of many attachments designed to fit one power head.

Yes, this is a folding lawnmower by Toro allowing you to save space in the garage!

One last photo at the end of our very informative and busy day. Thanks Home Depot!

These are just some of the tools we saw. Be sure to watch the video for highlights from all the tool manufacturers we saw and talked to.

We can't leave out the fact that we got to talk lawns with the groundkeepers from Fenway Park and East Lake Golf Club. They are very passionate about lawns and lawn care. It was a pleasure to visit with them!
